The Development of Aesthetic awareness Dimensions in Kurdish Songs and Music

Abstract

Kurdish traditional music is characterized by strong expression, aesthetic awareness, and deep lyrical heritage. Kurdish popular music has its own character, like the music of other peoples, and it is a type of music that is performed and developed in the Kurdish regions. This music includes a wide range of traditional musical instruments. Kurdish music is historically considered an ancient and rooted art. Kurdish musicians have played a major role in artistic life during successive eras. Kurdish musicians consider themselves preservers of this heritage and work hard to preserve and develop it by reformulating and renewing it and then employing it in... Contemporary Kurdish music reflects Kurdish art, culture and identity. In Kurdish music, the characteristics of the Kurdish personality, awareness dimensions and Kurdish aesthetic sense are evident, and it reveals the social dimension of its people, and reveals within it their existing condition. Because music has an ethereal essence, it manifests itself in time, and then leaves no room for anything else and takes over consciousness, moving from the moment of absorbing the aesthetic experience to the process of discovering aspects of that experience. Therefore, dealing with abstract musical aesthetic discourse crystallizes in how to codify imagination and organize the artist’s imagination. According to his level of dimension and his cognitive and auditory culture, to finally be consistent with the recipient’s vision, and here lies the role of experimental experience between the requirements of reason and the suggestions of imagination and emotion. Because any performance experience or artistic work does not depend only on what it is as a performance, but rather on the reactions of the listeners, especially in the case of oral heritage, as it depends on hearing in the process of transmission and communication with others.
